Definitely a tip on covering. Buy a trim iron.

I covered the back half last nite. In accordance with standard practice I cover from bottom back to the top front.
I used a piece on each bottom half. First attempt at covering bottom with one piece I could not get the wrinkles out. If you do not have a trim iron get one. It would be difficult to get a good seal on that little 1/8" edge that runs down the fin without it. My previous cover jobs I only used the trim iron once or twice.

I stop covering where the sheeting stopped at the back, sides are covered to near nose and I'll try one piece on top from sheeting to near nose. The nose should be most difficult of all and will likely take several pieces.

I wish those irons had on/off switches built into the handle.

This will likely be all the progress for a couple weeks as Thanksgiving and work limit my time.
